_This is the twenty second question / topic of the 30 days writing challenge I announced a couple of days ago. The total amount in prizes is 90,000 SNAX and it's being distributed as 3 daily prices of 1,000 SNAX each. For all the details, please check [this post](https://steemit.com/steemit/@dragosroua/save-the-date-the-next-30-days-challenge-starts-monday-may-20-90-000-snax-in-prizes)._

This topic is a bit more special. Since yesterday I awarded 5 prizes of 600 SNAX each, I decided that today I will award only one big prize, of 3,000 tokens. And the reason is that, by now, all the participants have some understanding of what it takes to run a blockchain like SNAX and I'm interested to hear their opinion on what would _they_ do as a BP.

The article may (or may not) answer to one, or all the below questions:

* what hardware should I use?
* how much time should I dedicate to technical maintenance?
* how much time should I dedicate to maintaining normal relationships with other BPs?
* how much time should I dedicate to campaigning for getting votes from regular users?
* how much from my stake should be dedicated to promotion?

Remember: give your best with this article and you can get the big 3,000 SNAX prize for the twenty second day!


IMPORTANT: please state your SNAX username in the post, so I know to which account to send the prize, should you be amongst the lucky winners! Thank you!
